Watch out kids, here comes Joost

Yet another entrant into the on-line video stream. May they compost cable.

Advertising Age - Digital - Why Joost Isn’t Just Your Average ‘YouTube Killer’:

Here’s the catch: the video stream isn’t coming from Comcast or DirecTV, it’s coming from Joost, one of the latest entrants into the online video market — and a service for which the cliche “YouTube killer” has been commonly applied. But it’s more likely to become a cable-company killer. While YouTube has become a repository for Long Tail user-generated content, Joost is looking to distribute professionally created content.

Thanks for the link. I’ve read a lot of reviews for Joost, and can’t wait to try it. I think it sounds pretty revolutionary — the first real strong “Over the Top” entry into online video. It is tv — just coming in through the web. This will certainly stir things up, espcially for the cable and telecom providers.

This valuable resource contains dozens of video and print examples of how advertisers market harmful substances such as alcohol and tobacco to various niche audiences, including Native Americans, Latinos, African Americans, Asians, GLBT and Women. This is an excellent primer for introducing the subject of cultural marketing to high school and middle school students. This is also a great product for health professionals and councilors working in the area of prevention.
